I had my braces for a year and I always had good experiences. One time, Dr Mahaffey made me a special mouthguard for football because my teeth changed in two weeks and my mouthguard wouldn't fit. Everyone is really nice and they make you feel welcome. My sister also got her braces from Dr. Mahaffey and she was happy too. My parents are very happy with the way our smiles turned out! Thank you Dr. Mahaffey and staff!!
